Keeping Tippett an uphill battle: Crows

[twentydollarnote]

Nah their wages are their main advantage over everyone else and it wouldnt be ridiculous money for them because of the reasons already pointed out, it would be using their main selling point. Of course theres the risk that he doesnt develop how we all hope him too, but given they dont have to give up a pick for him and its basically a free shot at a player it would be silly not to take advantage.

Just from a player development pov even if he didnt develop how we'd like, given the position he plays it would be a reasonable risk, he and a young KP backman would fall within their 'top 3' priorities quite easily.

I think that's one scenario we don't have to worry about.

It would be sheer madness for any club to pay Tippett enough to make him "one of the highest paid players in the comp" and I'm sure the people running the GC aren't stupid.

They'll probably be willing and able to offer him a bit more than Adelaide can (or will). Hopefully it won't be enough to overcome the negatives of moving back to the GC.

Maybe it will mean that we have to offer him a bit more than we would otherwise have done, and I'm sure we'd be willing to put up with that. But we won't sell the farm or break our own internal rules about player contracts and payments (bend a little, perhaps, but not break).

Don't forget there is a marketing income component that can be paid which is outside the TPP

There is some rough info below ......but I'll confess I am very hazy on how it all works

Anyone able to clarify the marketing component to the TPP?

The TPP limit increased 7.3 per cent in 2007 with almost the full
extent of the increase being passed on to players by clubs, with gross
player payments increasing 6.2 per cent from $114.2 million in 2006
to $121.3 million.

The additional services limit for the provision of marketing
services by players also increased 7.3 per cent, however, the total
spent by clubs on these services only increased 2.2 per cent, from
$6.58 million in 2006 to $6.73 million.

Given that a player in the AFL will have a limited lifespan in the sport, it is essential that he maximise his income during that time. Contracts are negotiated between clubs and players with the help of agents,
managers or parents.
The income under the contract is but one aspect of the earnings a player can reap from being a football player. Other sponsorship
and endorsements can be a very lucrative area for the player.
Upon signing the Standard Playing Contract (“the contract”) which is prepared in agreement between the AFL and the Australian
Football League Players Association (“AFLPA”) all AFL
players are then bound by that contract which adopts and incorporates
all of the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) which currently exists. The CBA came into operation in 1992, the first for any sport in Australia. The document provides a number of basic salary conditions for all players, and governs and regulates other aspects of the player’s
engagement as a player in the AFL.
A player can use his image for promotional or marketing purposes provided that this use does not conflict with an AFL protected sponsor or his AFL club protected sponsors. AFL property, such as uniform or intellectual property may only be used with the permission of the AFL.

i'm guessing he wants to go home to gold coast, get some of their draft picks for him

given there is no public disclosure of salaries, the GC can pay him a whack without necessarily everyone wanting to jump on the bandwagon.
